Economic Impact Payment (Stimulus Payment) Information

On, March 11^th, the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief plan was signed into law. This package includes a third stimulus payment for those who are eligible: $1,400 for individuals, $2,800 for married couples, and an additional $1,400 for every qualifying dependent in your household. 

Payments are coming and will be sent via mail or direct deposit. As soon as you receive your payment, we encourage you to use our mobile app, with Mobile Deposit, Online Banking, or an ITM to access the funds.

For qualifying members who will receive a stimulus payment via direct deposit, we will post funds as we receive them. If you’re not sure about the status of your payment, visit the IRS website to check the status. GECU does not have access to information related to the status of your payment.
